Fuck Today, Continued

“Cummings points to a part of the article that shows the death rate within the jail and compares it with the Los Angeles County Jail, Riker’s Island in New York, and others. Oklahoma County Jail’s death rate is around three times higher than theirs and has been for both 2021 and 2022.“

That’s a lot of supposedly unknown causes of deaths. And just a ton of deaths.

A series of civil suits at many multiples of those bogus charges – stemming from bogus charges, no less – might solve that issue.

(New) Superintendent Mike Miles said students are behind on reading levels, especially in 4th grade.

So, what’s Mike’s solution to students lagging behind in reading?

This comes as part of the new superintendent Mike Miles reform program, New Education System (NES). Currently, there are a total of 85 schools that have joined Miles’ program, and of those, 28 campuses will lose their librarians.

Ah, of course.

Dickhead.

You don’t need a library when each classroom has an age appropriate bible! /s

I wonder if there’s some differentiating factor between the schools that are losing their librarians and those that aren’t. Is the answer is as clear as black and white?

I look forward to Republicans screaming bloody murder when the AGs of California, New York, or Massachusetts requires all visitors to the NRA website from their states to provide their name and date of birth before proceeding, and that information is recorded by the government of those states. To paraphrase the Heritage Foundation’s tweet, “No child should be conditioned to think that using a high-powered firearm is even remotely a good idea.”

these must be their zoom rooms

https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/education/article/hisd-zoom-room-punishment-18174952.php

they plan to install cameras in every class room soon they can monitor kids as well as broadcast the teacher. and if they see kids being “disruptive”, they will be isolated and forced to watch the class from the separate room

there are 55 schools participating, and they’re all ( or mostly all ) minority majority schools.

also very cute, they promised significant teacher salary increases ( by eliminating 500 jobs ) and then - after the teachers signed up - announced it’s a sliding scale based on subject so some are getting pay cuts.

Conveniently, it allows them to monitor the teacher so that if they say anything deemed offensive to the State, the suede denim secret police will come take them away.

Glad they found this illegal terrorist lab, but fuck. Scary stuff.

Only caught because someone noticed a garden hose hooked to the back of a building.

Maybe it was set up just in case the U.S. goes to war with China? :thinking:

(The name of the one person named in connection with the place looks Chinese to me.)
